My Own Town - Glen Phillips

They all went away and left me alone

And now there’s nobody around anymore

Just this big empty house, big empty street

In a big empty town and a big empty state

The radio is dead and the streets are blocked off

And I’ve been smashing windows, trying to get lost

And I read a few books but it just made me sad

Nobody to talk to about what I read

Heaven knows why I’m around

Heaven knows what keeps me here

There is nothing that can keep me down

There is nothing left to fear

It’s my town now, my own town

Yeah, it’s my town now

But I wish you were here

I’m wondering if I should learn how to fly

A police helicopter would be a good way to die

I’d be a fireball come crashin', leavin' nothing but ashes

A bald spot on the globe like nothing ever had happened here

(Chorus)
